Who makes Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Mineral Water, 16.9 fl oz, 24-count?
As of July 5, 2026, evidence points to La Galvanina S.p.A. as the manufacturer of Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Mineral Water, 16.9 fl oz, 24-count, but no tier 1–3 source names the link directly.
The common claim
What most answers say — and what the evidence supports
San Benedetto, Nestle's Vera, and Galvanina all circulate as the maker of Kirkland's imported Italian sparkling mineral water. The evidence points to Galvanina: the product's own label data places bottling at Apecchio (Pesaro-Urbino), and Galvanina operates the mineral-water plant there, drawing on the Val di Meti spring - the same Apecchio source Galvanina bottles as private-label Italian sparkling for several US chains. That rules against San Benedetto, whose springs are at Scorze near Venice, and against Nestle's Vera. Because no public source names La Galvanina on the Kirkland label directly, this is graded probable, not confirmed.
Evidence & sources
Every source is graded on the six-tier rubric and archived, so the citation holds even if the original moves or paywalls. The tier badge grades the source; the status grades our confidence in the maker.
Tier 4
Galvanina's own site: "Galvanina manages three production plants located in central Italy... Galvanina, Val di Meti and San Giuliano" and the Val di Meti plant at Apecchio (Pesaro-Urbino) "produces and bottles natural and sparkling mineral water." Names Galvanina as the operator of the Apecchio / Val di Meti plant but does not name Kirkland - it resolves the bottling location to a company, which is why the status caps at probable.
Tier 5
Label-transcribed product record for the Kirkland Signature Italian Sparkling Mineral Water gives "Manufacturing or processing places: Appecchio, Italy, PU" - i.e. Apecchio in Pesaro-Urbino, the commune where Galvanina's Val di Meti spring and plant are the mineral-water bottler. Crowd-sourced label data, so indirect; it ties the Kirkland product to the Apecchio location, which the Galvanina source resolves to La Galvanina S.p.A. Upgrade path to confirmed: a documented back-label bottler line naming "La Galvanina S.p.A." (tier-4 on-label), or an ImportYeti Galvanina-to-Costco record (tier 5).
